Students improve their locomotor skills and their knowledge of recycling. They participate in a relay as they recycle different objects into their proper containers.

First graders create spider models to discover its anatomy. They use construction paper and sequins to make their spiders and use pictures as examples for their models. As an alternative, 1st graders make posters of the spider's parts....

Learners practice speaking and listening in the context of an improvised mini-play. They play the role of a milkman. He stops and rings the imaginary doorbell of one of the pupils. A conversation follows, for example: "What will it be...

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, learners analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Students recognize different shapes and colors. When the music stops students should move to and stand on a shape. Ask students "who is standing by a square, circle," etc., and ask what color they are standing on.

Students perform jumps and leaps from one lily pad to another to add to a study of frogs.

Students work with a partner to follow the pathway-jumping in the different suggested ways. They listen to music to rotate from station to station. Students their favorite stations and levels of difficulty. They discuss the use of...

Students state the general rule for a practical situation. They describe a continuing pattern. They use toothpicks to help visualize the problem and answer it correctly.

Students participate in a lab experiment in which they discover the need for so many blocks and tackles on sailing ships. In groups, they make and test their predictions and practice measuring objects in various units. They record and...

Students use a dichotomous key to classify various vertebrate jar speciments into classes. They examine the speciments for general characteristics of each class and fill in a corresponding chart and then complete a few final assessment...

Students discover what a ringer is and make different alterations to it.  In this aircraft lesson students determine the best design for accurate, long distance flight. 

Students will use this activity for the following Algebra concepts: Review of Direct Variation; Properties of direct variations; Finding the constant of variations from data sets; Find missing values in data sets both numerically and...

Get independent practice working with direct variation. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This set of questions pertains to direct, inverse, and joint variation. Students are asked to recognize equations of each type and to solve applications problems. Solutions and explanations are included.

A lesson plan to investigate direct and inverse variation through a telescope activity. Good graphical illustrations provided.

In this activity you will produce histograms using the Data Graphs Wizard and learn about the concept of biological variance.

This activity culminates the unit with the Go Public phase of the legacy cycle. In the associated activities, learners use linear models to depict Hooke's law as well as Ohm's law. To conclude the activity, students apply they've learned...

Students will generate data on the CBL 2 to represent a linear function. They will investigate the slope of a direct variation. Then they will use different starting points to represent y intercept.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson exposes students to equations of variation (direct, inverse, and joint) in the real world, as well as having students work with such equations in the real world context. The...

The mathematics tutorial explores direct and inverse variation. The lesson consists of class notes, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource includes an activity that examines mathematical variation in art.
